The new open-world action-adventure Crimson Desert<\/a> launched last week, and although it’s filled with technical issues on platforms such as the PlayStation 5, South Korean publisher and developer Pearl Abyss isn’t ruling out a Switch 2 port.<\/p>\n

In fact, according to the company’s CEO Heo Jin-Young, the team has just begun research and development to investigate a Nintendo version of this ambitious title. Here’s what he had to say during a recent shareholders meeting (thanks for the heads up, Nintendo Everything):<\/p>\n

\u201cCompared to other consoles, the Switch still has lower specifications, so there are things we would have to give up. Internally, we have begun R&D with interest.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As noted, there would be some compromises, and the team would essentially have to “give up” certain aspects of the game. This update from the CEO follows rumours last year<\/a> about the title coming to the Switch 2.<\/p>\n

Despite “really poor performance” and graphical issues at launch, our sibling site Push Square<\/a> still thought Crimson Desert was a fascinating game with a “frankly absurd scope” and a cacophony of systems and mechanics that only begin to take shape hours and hours in to the experience.<\/p>\n
